AMD Ryzen 7 Hoping For Mainstream PC Market: Should It Worry Intel?

With the announcement of the Ryzen 7 and the launch of the Ryzen 5, AMD is increasing its speed to challenge Intel. Intel is its only competitor in a case of PC and laptop processors.

As the high-end, Ryzen 7 series was thought to be a premium product, it’s another version Ryzen 5 has now been launched by AMD which is expected to make huge profits.

AMD Ryzen Vs. Intel

It is an intelligent move by AMD to reach to a large number of customers. As the Ryzen 7 series was marketed to high-end users, the Ryzen 3 is planning to give users a taste of the new processor from AMD.

The Ryzen 5, however, will target the mainstream users who want fast processing power with an average price tag. This move may affect Intel’s revenue generation if AMD becomes successful in providing a better product than Intel.
